Deck of Scarlet – Edition #12 – Review Time!

I honestly don’t know why Deck of Scarlet does not get more hype. They are pretty darn awesome for the following reasons:

They are very interactive on Instagram. When you make a comment on a post, they always take the time to reply. I think that is very polite.
They don’t just send you a palette, but also an extra item.
They evolve and listen. They just introduced a monthly plan for $29.99 which gives you the option of a palette or kit which has a range of full size items.

I still subscribe to the bimonthly plan, which includes a palette and an extra for $29.99, but I have a feeling that will be phased out soon for the monthly plan. Regardless, it’s a great subscription because the products are top notch.

Edition #12 was curated by Lupe Cuevas and its a bright, kick ass palette with the following shades options:

Obsessed- muted matte pink
Cocoa- mid tone matte brown
Groove- dark purple shimmer
Crystallized- icy pink highlighter
Inst- Famous- bright fuscia blush/shadow
Dizzy- icy pink lip topper
Undone- creamy grungy brown lip color

I really enjoyed all the shades, except I found Crystallized to be a bit too pressed to get much of a color punch or glow without having to scrape the top layer.

Colors from top to bottom: Obsessed, Cocoa, Groove, Crystallized, Insta-Famous, Dizzy and Undone

Don’t be afraid of Inst- Famous. Although it’s very bright, it won’t leave you looking clownish and it makes a lovely eyeshadow as well.

Undone is the real winner for me. It’s this grungy 90’s inspired brown and it’s GORGEOUS! As a true 90’s teen/ young adult, it brought back many memories.
